Waverley Care is Scotland’s national HIV and hepatitis C charity. Our mission is to end HIV inequality and stigma, ensuring that anyone living with or at risk of HIV is treated with acceptance, support and respect. We aim to play a pivotal role in helping Scotland reach zero new HIV transmissions by 2030. As a leading voice in the sector, we influence policy to challenge health inequalities and promote fair access to prevention, testing, treatment and care. We deliver high-quality, non-judgemental advice and support across Scotland, shaped by people with lived experience. Their voices guide our work, from service design to advocacy, ensuring it reflects the needs of the communities we support.
